Confirmed Lib Dem leadership contenders
Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Mark
Oaten has announced he will stand,
saying members want a choice of leader.
He is one of a new breed of Lib Dem MPs
- right-leaning "economic liberals" who
are prepared to support the use of
private finance in public services.
A skilled political operator and fluent
Commons performer, the 41-year-old has
been rapidly promoted within the party.
He has said that the Lib Dems will not
change course in the face of a
Conservative Party led by David Cameron
